Glass EYeA

A German paper makes the as
founding statement that more than
100000 glass eyes are made every
year in Germany and Switzerland,
while one French house manufac-
lures 100000 of them annually.
The pupil is made Of colored glass,
and sometimes red lines are
painted on the inner surface TO
simulate the veins. The largest
number of these eyes are bought by
laborers who are exposed to fire,
and are consequently liable to lose
an eye. An artificial eye rarely
lasts more than five years, as the
secretions of the lachrymal glands
cloud the surface of the glass. DR..
Magnus pointed out that the ex-
preston of the eyes is almost solely
due to the movements of the upper
eye-lids; and this is the reason
that we may see man with q glass
eve q hundred times before we dis
cover biz in6rmity.

TOBACCO

Tobacco was first introduced into
Western Europe in 1860 by Fran
cesco Hernandez, who imported
tobacco plants from North America
into Spain. The tube, or pipe. in
which the Spaniards smoked the
imported weed was called tabacco,
and hence came the name which is
now so familiar to civilization all
over the world. In Spain it is still
called tabaco in Germany, Holland
Russia, tabak in France, tacbac (;
and in England and the United
tobacco" Sir Walter Raleigh,
fresh from one of his voyages to Vir-
ginia, was the first to make smok.
ing fashionable in England, and
even went so fas as to induce
Queen Elizabeth "to try few whiiis
of the bewitching vegetable" ''The
Queen" says Col. Bird, the founder
of Richmond, in Virginia, gracious
ly accepted it; but finding her
stomach sicken, it was presently
whispered by the Earl of Leicester's
faction that Sir Walter had GER
tainly poisoned her Majesty. Soon
recovering from her disorder, the
Queen obliged the Countess of Not
tingham and all her maids of hon
or to smoke out whole pipe
among them.

BE WASN'T DRUNK.

The following story comes to the
Boston Transcript from city in
the prohibition state of Maine:
One evening, not long ago, there
was arrested in that city an old
gentleman of position and of cherry
habits. The policeman said he had
found the old gentleman on the
street very drunk. When his case
came up in court the only witnesses
summoned to prove his condition
were the policeman and the old
family servant of the accused, a
faithful and devoted retainer. The
policeman had given his testimony,
which was unqualifiedly to the fact
of the old gentlemans intoxication.
The old servant was called to the
stand. There was a mingled ex-
preston of in lignation and deter
mination on his countenance. He
testified fatty, to the surprise of the
court room, that the old man was
sober when he came home. The
prosecuting attorney proceeded to
question. "You say that MIR. -
was sober when he came homer"
"Yes sir" "Did he 60 to bed
alone?" "No SIR" did you put
him to bed?" ."Yes SIR" And he
was perfectly sober?'' .'Yes SIR"
what did he say when you put
him to bed?" "He said how was
to call him early" Anything
else" "He said as how | was to
call him ear y, for he was to be
queen of the May" The court
room roared. And in spite of the
old servants very positive testimony
the accused was convicted and fined.

A City in q Defle.

The city of Guanajuato, in Mex
leo, it is said, would never have
been built but for the mines. 1t is
crowded into narrow defile seven
miles long by about one quarter of
a mile wide. In some places stone
can be thrown from hill to hill over
the city. Street cars, each drawn
by four mules, leave the station at
the mouth of the ravine and climb
until they come to the upper end
of the city, where the ravine stops
abruptly against the mountain.
The streets are so narrow that a
letter box would be an obstruction
if fastened to the sides Of build
ing in the usual way, so this useful
institution is provided for by CHS
cling hole for it in the wall. On
the main street, which follows the
center line of the ravine, there is
room for two vehicles to pass each
other, but the most of the thor
oughfares are only passable for
burros. A double track is impos-
sible, and the single street-car line
is operated by a series of switches
and by the almost constant footing
of horns, which the drivers carry
hung about their necks.

The Oldest Newspaper.

1t is generally believed that the
Times, of London, and the Gazette
de France, of Paris, are the oldest
papers in existence, but this APP
pears to be mistake. The honor
belongs to the Chinese, who pos
sess a journal started nearly 1000
years ago. It's name is the King
Pan. 1t was founded, says a learned
bibliophist, in the year 9l1 of the
Christian era. At first it was pub
lished at irregular periods, but in
1861 it became weekly. In 1904
it underwent another transforma-
ton and appeared daily. 1t costs
a half-penny and issues three edi-
tions. The morning edition, printed
on yellow paper, is devoted to COM
merce; the noon edition, printed
on white paper, contains official
acts and miscellaneous news while
the evening edition, printed on red
paper, is taken up with political
information and leading articles.
1t is edited by six members of the
academy of science, and the total
sale of the three editions is IA 900
copies.

A Worm that Eats Up Steel Rails.
Colonge Gazette.

The existence has just been dis
covered of a detestable microbe
which feeds upon iron with as
much gluttony as the phylloxera
upon the vine. Sometime ago the
greatest CONSERVATION existed
among the engineers employed on
the railway at Hagen. by the acci-
dentsccurring on the railways at the
same place, proving that some ter
rible defect must exist either in the
material or the construction of the
rails. The German government
directed an inquiry to be made and
a commission Of surveillance to be
formed for the purpose OF main
tanning constant watch at the spot
where the accidents-one of them
attended with loss of life-had oc-
Cured. 1t was not, however, until
after six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared to
be corroded, as if by acid, to the
extent of a 100 yards. The rail
was taken up and broken, and it
was preceived that it was literally
followed out by thin gray worm,
to which the qualifications of rail
overous" was assigned and by which
name it is to be classed in natural
history. The worm is said to be
two centimcters in length and of
the size of the prong of a silver
fork in circumference. 1t is OF
light gray color, and on the head
carries two little glands filled with
a corrosive secretion, which is
elected every ten minutes upon the
iron. This liquid renders the iron
soft and spongy, and Of the color
of rust, and it is then greedlIy de-
voured by the insect. There is
no exaggeration," says the official
report Of the commission, in the
assertion that this creature, for its
size. is one Of the most voracious
kind. for it has devoured thirty-six
kiloqrammes of rail in fortnight"

New York Mercury.

Only seventy years ago a large
portion of the territory comprising
the state Of Wisconsin, with a Sec
tion of Minnesota, was sold for
100000, and the deed is recorded
in the New York registers office
The sale was made by Samuel Pc
ters to a syndicate, for there were
syndicates in those days as well as
in this. The sale was made in jan
uary, 1917, and the syndicate was
composed Of Lewis Ayres and SO
others. 1t is described as a large
tract Of land in the northwestern
territory, containing s 5000, 900 acres
and more. 1t comprised the great
portion of the land sold in 1867 to
Jonathan Carver by the NandOwes-
sizes tribe of Indians. Carver re-
ceived 100000 acres. The descrip-
ton is as follows:
Running from the falls of St.
Anthony from the east bank of the
Mississippi nearly east as far as the
south end of Lake Pepin, where the
Chippewa river joins the Missis-
sippi; and from thence eastward
five days travel, accounting twenty
English miles per day, and thence
north six days travel, at twenty
English miles per day; and from
thence again to the falls of st. An
thony. There is reserved to the
Indians the sole right to fish and
hunt on unimproved land.
There is a population of 1875
497 in Wisconsin at this date, and

after the friends had taken tn .ir
departure, "as he was skinny man.
1t takes much longer to cremate
fieshy men than skinny ones. By
the way" the attendant continued,
"we're going to adopt plan here
that will prevent such terrible mis-
takes as the one that nearly occur
red in New York yesterday, when a
woman who had been in a trance
returned TO animation when in the
crcmatory and about to be thrust
in the oven. We're going to estab-
lish here what is known as the hot
test One room will be heated by
steam to a certain temperature.
All bodies will be laid in the room
for a time before being placed in
the oven. If the body is dead, un-
der the influence of the heat the
skin will soon grow dark. Ifthere's
life in the body this effect will not
ensue. The hot test is infallible.
At the end of an hour the atten-
dart pronounced the cremation
completed.
The reporter looked into the
oven.
The alumned sheet, which had so
long resisted combustion, had final
ly yielded. Only fragment of it,
puffed up like a balloon, remained.
There on the iron csr, in perfect
outlines of the human skeleton, lay
the ashes very light-colored and
very fne-all the mortal remains
of eccentric John Tyler. Then be-
gan the cooling process, which is
simply allowing the oven to cool SO
that the car could be withdrawn.
The ashes were then gathered into
the glass urn left by the relative
and sent to the place at which the
widow directed that they should be
left until called for.
